Hike Description

Hike Description:

  • Starting Point: Parking lot at wester end of Avnei Eitan where the ‡Black‡ trail starts (1).
  • Follow the ‡Black‡ trail down towards the stream bed, cross the stream and start following it.
  • After about 400 meters you reach the “Black Waterfall” (2), pouring down on the black basalt rock.

  • Continue downstream. After 1.2 Km you will pass an intersection with a ‡Blue‡ trail (3). Ignore it and continue straight with the ‡Black‡ trail.
  • After about 700 m, you reach the head of the “White Waterfall”, pouring down the white limestone cliff.
  • Enjoy the view, and continue following the ‡Black‡ trail, climbing towards Eliad.
  • Shortly after, you will reach an intersection with a ‡Red‡ trail (4).
  • Here you have option to make a short (and highly recommended) detour to the pool at the foot of the waterfall.

  • Continue for 2Km at a gradual ascent until Eliad (5).
  • Turn left, and start following the “El-Al Promenade”. Its a 4 Km flat walk, above the gorge, all the way back to the starting point.
